"Thank you", I've
heard as I walked into my room.
I was confused. Who said that? I didin't recognise
the voice. And it was impossible for somebody to reach my room, as long as the
front room was locked.
"Thank you very much", the voice said.
Again. Where did the sound come from? "My life is amazing because of
you" it said again, just to realise that the sound was coming from the big
canvas from the wall. But it was not the same as I remembered.
There was a girl with big blue eyes that was smiling
at me. She blinked. How did it happen? Was it even possible?
"What's going on here?" I asked.
"Well, today is a big day" she answered me.
"I finally decide to talk to you. You know? It's been two years
and..."
"Wait! Can you talk?! And how?!"
"I can, but I don't know how I do it. It just...
happens."
"Umm... okay", I said.
"And I really wanted to thank you for creating
me. When I first opened my eyes, two years ago, it was a beautiful night. I saw
you sleeping. The lamp was turned on. Perhaps you fell asleep while
reading."

"Oh no. You're still here" I said, after
opening my eyes.
The girl in the picture was still smiling. Her
purple necklace created a beautiful contrast with her black shirt. She was
beautiful. When I painted her, I knew she was the girl I want to become one
day. I breathed in. Then I breathed out and decided to leave the things like
they were. Yes, I had a talking canvas in my room. And maybe that was a proof that
miracles do exist.
"So, what's up?" I've asked her, feeling
weird and amazed in the same time.
The moonlight came through my window, and it was
announcing a beautiful and interesting night.
